Original image that I restored from: lullaby
A birthday gift I made for a good friend Miya-chan, who happens to be a Yoshitomo Nara fan. I was trying my hand at restoring an artwork image as I could not find any wallpaper online. What do you think? ehh?

Got motivated for the 2006 Chinese New Year festive season and decided to make these lovely Kusudama origami balls for my family. There are 20 pieces of paper required for each ball. It was alot of fun seeing the pieces come together and all these reaaalllllly cute balls come out at the end. *Thumbs up*. It is based on a diagram by Tomoko Fuse in her origami book Kusudama Origami.

This was my very first Kusudama ball attempt. I was so amazed and inspired by the design that I thought I’d give it a go. It requires 60 pieces of paper as I also had to create the pattern paper needed to form the outcome I wanted for the flower pattern. Gotta be pleased with this one I must say. Although it took me about 1 week to complete it. It is based on a diagram by Makoto Yamaguchi in his origami book Kusudama: Ball Origami.

Being amused by the different kind of origami balls that can be folded, I took time to experiment with these two. They both required 30 pieces of paper each. I really liked the result and have made them for my friends. Never fails to bring a smile to their face. ^_^ The diagram for the Sakura ball was by Toshikazu Kawasaki and can be found in his origami book 折り紙夢WORLD , although I don’t remember the author for the Star ball, oopsies.

A gift I made for Beebee after getting inspired by seeing all the Seiko fanart done by her. I also decided to include a short poem, to further express the love Sei has for Youko just like the love I have for her. I hope you like this darling!

Other Sizes: 1024×768
A dedication to all the fans of Aya Ueto. Hope this brightens your day and that you enjoy it as much as I do.

I had some inspiration and came up this with piece. Got stuck for a bit but finally finished it with Beebee’s help It features Satou Sei which was created in Illustrator. The rest was done in Photoshop. One of my favourite piece.

A wallpaper I made for a special friend Joe who has a kind and warm heart.

My very first CG fanart of Ai-chan, my most favourite anime character. This was based on Katsura-sensei’s artwork. It was done in Illustrator. It does require a lot of patience, but I like the flexibility in reshaping and resizing. Extremely pleased with this one and am looking forward to doing more CGs in the future!

Not much problem with this piece as Namie is one of my favourite j-pop stars

One of the most difficult pieces I’ve drawn. Very difficult to capture Tomiko’s features. But I think I did well, right, Ban-chan?

One of my quickest piece, but somehow it still turned out pretty good!

One of my earlier portrait of a Japanese idol, Matsuura Aya. Even though I was copying from a picture, I found it was an extremely difficult piece, as it took me a long time to get the angle of the face. I wonder what she would think??

My first manga creation. This was very exciting for me. I wanted a dreamy and mischievous feel, and experimented particularly with the eyes and hair. It took a little while to come up with this, but I really enjoyed the whole process.

My second manga creation. This was a lot more difficult, as it was my first attempt at drawing a male character. Here, I was after a thinker, passionate but (ultra) reserved type of character. I also wanted someone who would complement Catherine. It took several attempts to finally come up with something I am happy with. Also another interesting process.

This piece I drew when I had a surge of inspiration. I wanted to bring out a more mystical feel so I decided to draw the hair this way and make her turn around. I am very happy with this piece, definitely one of my favourites

I was so inspired with Beebee’s shading techniques that I decided to have a go at it and did this portrait. It was done with a 0.7 pacer.
